At least one Brit made the final... James Keothavong umpires Wimbledon showdown

Last year’s hero Andy Murray may have been sitting at home licking his wounds, but one British man had the best seat in the house for the final. James Keothavong, brother of former British No 1 Anne, umpired his first Grand Slam singles final.

Keothavong will no doubt hope to be back again next year. And perhaps he will even end by saying the words: ‘Game, set and match, Murray.’

Sealed with a kiss: Novak Djokovic beat Roger Federer in an epic five-set Wimbledon final

The Serbian world No 1 called it the 'most special' victory of his career.

The 27-year-old will reclaim the world
No 1 spot when the rankings are released on Monday, and he said: ‘It’s
definitely the most special. At the time of my career, for this Grand
Slam trophy to arrive is crucial, especially after losing three finals
in a row. I had started doubting myself a little.’

Federer,
though, joked that he does ‘not need another’ Wimbledon crown, but said
there is still more to come from him, even at the age of 32.

The
Swiss said: ‘I already have seven. It’s not like I need another one.
But it would have been awfully nice to have it. I think that’s what the
feeling was of the people, and I felt that.'
